I've been seeing similar problems to Anton, with brand-new SATA cables that
are definitely not damaged.  (Note that Anton was talking about a SATA disk,
with a completely different kind of data cable from old ATA drives.)

Veronica continued:

Although it's possible that Anton could be having hardware problems due to
overheating or other drive flakiness, there have been lots of reports of
timeout problems with SATA drives on Promise controllers under heavy I/O
load, from many people, for quite some time now, and I would be surprised
if they were all due to overheating.

I'm currently running a "dd if=/dev/adXXX of=/dev/null bs=64k conv=noerror"
command on each of my two Seagate 300GB SATA drives simultaneously (with
"adXXX" replaced by the real drive device name in each case).  I've got the
case open, with a large external fan blowing air onto the drives.  Running
"smartctl -a /dev/adXXX" on each drive shows the temperature in each drive
to be around 35C.  Earlier self-tests on both drives finished successfully.
Nevertheless, I'm seeing a bunch of timeout problems reported on both drives.

Something is messed up -- maybe in the Promise controller, maybe in the
FreeBSD driver, or (I'll admit for the sake of completeness) maybe in the
drives or elsewhere in the system.  And as I said, lots of people on the
net have reported this problem, but no one (so far) has confessed to having
a clue as to what is causing it or how to fix it.

I'm running 6.1-RELEASE-p9 on an old 800-MHz Athlon (original "Slot A" CPU
type), in a DTK VAM-0070 motherboard.  I've seen other people, though,
report this problem with much newer hardware.

Then it seems that you don't have a hardware problem but a software
problem; i always try to rule out any hardware problems first. That
includes a memory test (like memtest86). It's all too frustrating trying
to isolate a bug which eventually was hardware-related.

But it seems you have a driver problem indeed. All i can say is that i
have no problems with my onboard Promise controller; although its not
processing terribly much data. A different controller and/or software
RAID might be a solution/workaround.

For the archives, the VIA EPIA VT-310DP (<http://www.via.com.tw/en/ 
products/mainboards/mini_itx/vt_310dp/>) works *great* with FreeBSD  
6.1. It's a dual-1GHz Via motherboard. The second processor is picked  
up without trouble, and its padlock cryptography acceleration works,  
or at least /dev/crypto is created with "device crypto" and "device  
cryptodev" in the kernel config.

I didn't have to do anything special to get these things detected  
except for the kernel config. In fact, I pulled a hard drive out of  
another system and put it in here and it booted right up.

My dmesg is below.

How successfully does it meet your requirements for a quiet system? (as I
think I read that both CPUs are actively cooled...)

(moved to freebsd-hardware only)

So far, it doesn't, since the power supply fan on the case I bought  
is pretty loud (well, quieter than the old system, but not yet quiet  
enough). But the manual for the motherboard indicates that it can run  
fanless, and it has temperature sensors and a BIOS feature to shut it  
down after it hits a critical temperature, so after some fidgeting I  
suspect that I'll be able to quiet it down completely.

...and performance? (i.e., `ubench`) :) Also, just curious... can you
test the speed of crypto? Yes, want to gape at some large numbers ;)

You might wants to consider using a low-power 'brick'-type AC->DC
PSU (~90W?) and a DC-DC voltage converter that plugs directly into
a mainboard's power connector. This will be quite noiseless.

Really, I'm rather impressed with FreeBSD yet again. Such an exotic
hardware, and all works right away. Huge kudos to the developers :)

Hi,

My acquaintance with Unix started with FreeBSD, which I used for quite
a while before discovering OpenBSD. I now mostly use OpenBSD, and I
was wondering of how many FreeBSD users are aware about the licensing
restrictions of Intel Pro Wireless family of wireless adapters?

Why are none of the manual pages of FreeBSD say anything about why
Intel Wireless devices do not work by default?

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ipw
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=iwi

If you are curious as to why things are the way they are, I suggest
that you check the problems that are described in the misc@openbsd.org
mailing list, and contact Intel people and say what you think about
their user-unfriendly policy in regards to Intel Pro Wireless
firmwares, which are REQUIRED to be loaded from the OS before the
device functions, i.e. the OS developers must be allowed to freely
distribute the firmware in order for the devices to work
out-of-the-box.

For some recent information about Intel being an Open Source Fraud,
see http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openbsd-misc&m=115960734026283&w=2.

Cheers,
Constantine.

Probably because all you have to do is install a port and it works. :)
In FreeBSD installing a port isn't too difficult for users to do.  However,
you might want to ask Theo why he complains about Intel not giving him a
license for one binary blob (Intel wireless firmware) but complains about
Atheros providing a binary blob that he can distribute.  Seems a bit of a
contradiction to me.  However, you probably won't make any headway with
that argument because the other side won't be using reason and logic.

I think in practice that the distinction between a HAL and firmware is
blurry at best.  Both are pre-built software to drive hardware and provide
a simplified interface to software (i.e. OS) for managing the hardware.
The only difference is which portion of RAM that it lives (some RAM chip
on the device or in the RAM of the host computer) and that distinction
really isn't all that noteworthy.  If it's some argument about HAL's
encroaching on space needed by the OS, note that firmware has to be in
host RAM as well so it can be uploaded.  In fact, for iwi(4) and ipw(4)
the drivers keep it around all the time to handle suspend/resume.  The
implementation detail of HAL vs firmware is really just a reflection of
design choices made by the hardware vendor in where to draw the line
between actual hardware vs software to provide their public interface to
system software.  For a software guy to claim that firmware is ok but
HALs mostly just serves to display how ignorant said person is of how
things work over in hardware land IMHO.

At this point I've said way more than I probably should as I have actual
work that I need to be getting done. :)

Oh yeah, so I can install a port to the installation media, so that I
could setup wireless right away and install all ports that are not
present on the install CD off an ftp or http mirror? :)

> In FreeBSD installing a port isn't too difficult for users to do.  However,

So is in OpenBSD, in fact, they've recently made it even easier with a
"-u" option, where "pkg_add -u" automatically updates all packages to
the newest versions, works out of the box, only PKG_PATH needs to be
set.

Are you being serious? The distinction is rather clear -- Intel's
firmware is processor and operating system independent and runs on the
wireless microprocessor, whereas Atheros' HAL module is
processor-dependent, and runs on the main CPU in kernel mode with
unlimited priviledges (correct me if I'm wrong). Clear distinction
here, IMHO.

I think there is a huge difference here in what area of the RAM of the
host computer these binary blobs live: in the case of firmware, they
live in a non-executable read-only part of RAM, whereas with a binary
HAL module the situation is just the opposite. And this IS the
difference that should concern security-paranoid people.

Cheers,
Constantine.

You do realize that on a PCI bus each device (like iwi(4), ipw(4), etc.) is a 
busmaster, so the firmware on the hardware can DMA to anywhere in physical 
memory?  (Well, on some archs you have an IOMMU to deal with that can make 
that a bit more tricky, but on i386 and amd64 you don't have that to worry 
about.)  Thus, malicious firmware could engage in kernel object modification, 
etc.  If you're worried about reviewing the source for security bugs, then 
that worry should be applied to firmware as well as HALs.  Taking that 
argument even further, you really want to review the source for firmware the 
OS never touches as well (such as on RAID controllers, em(4), etc.) since it 
still has unmitigated access to all of RAM in the machine.  That's still a 
bit safer than firmware loaded by the OS (easier to sneak in rogue firmware 
that way as it's loaded more often).  In fact, brining up ath(4) vs. iwi(4)

Actually, I think you aren't _as_ paranoid and underestimate the security 
implications of binary firmware that is by and large untrusted.

I'll try to do a ubench tonight.

I'd love to test the speed of the crypto, but I'm not exactly sure  
how, nor even test if it's actually being used e.g. by openssl. All  
I've confirmed is whether /dev/crypto exists :) I'd like to make sure  
that at the very least, Apache from ports, and OpenSSH and OpenSSL in  
the base system are using it, and ideally that OpenSSL from ports is  
using it too. I'm working on getting IPsec up and running, and I have  
FAST_IPSEC in the kernel, so it *should* use it, but again, I can't  
think of an easy way to confirm this other than watching the device  
node for opens/reads/writes

Do you have any recommendations? Ideally it would mount on the case  
(<http://www.logicsupply.com/product_info.php/products_id/134>) like  
the current power supply does but I'm open to other options

Well, it seemed like a good deal -- the new Dell E521 with an AMD 64 Athlon 
3200+,  1Gb memory, for $400 should make a decent, cheap server.  But 
FreeBSD just won't boot on it.  I tried Release 6.1 (both amd64 and i386 
versions), as well as Releases 5.5 and 4.11.  All give the same result when 
trying to boot from the install cd:

	With the usb keyboard plugged in, the boot gets to a "panic: 
ohci-add-done: addr 0x3bef1ba0 not found", and then it tries to reboot again.
	With the keyboard unplugged, the ohci error never appears, but the boot 
gets to a point of recognizing the SATA drive, and then just hangs.  Last 
message: "ad4: 152587MB <SAMSUNG HD160JJ/P ZM100-34> at ata2-master SATA300"

Anyone have any ideas of anything to try?  There's not much to change in 
the BIOS settings.
Btw, the BIOS is version 1.0.1 (9/23/2006).  The only version currently 
available on the Dell site is version 1.0.0 (!).

Linux boots and runs fine.  I guess I may have to go with that.

Yes, world isn't perfect. But what is the probability that Intel
Firmware can possibly do something other than a DoS attack on the host
machine, as the machine may have ANY possible operating system on ANY
platform?

When you have a binary HAL, it's specific to the platform, and that
makes the probability of some successful compromise much more
plausible than with OS-independent firmwares. And let's not
concentrate on just security, but also think of reliability and
portability -- binary HALs create the necessity for the hardware
manufacturer to update the blob for new platforms / operating systems
/ compilers / etc. Clearly, binary HALs require way much more hassle
than do firmwares, which aren't required to be updated with any
possible updates of the OS.

I think you've just discredited yourself from being objective, as it's
now just a matter of your own opinion aka bias of whom you trust and
whom you don't trust. ;)

Hi All,

I'm in the market for a SATA II controller, which must be supported 
under FreeBSD (6.1 or earlier).  My supplier sold me an adaptec 1420SA 
which I've come to the conclusion is a POS and not worth the PCB it's 
etched on. and isn't supported at all under BSD.

I don't need RAID support of any kind, but it would be nice to have 4 
ports to plug in drives.  Cheap is ok, provided I can access the drives 
under FreeBSD and set up gmirror on the drives.

What are other people using for controlling SATA drives?  Good? Bad? 
just plain Ugly?

Cheers

Tim

just do `openssl speed`
if you see some damn large numbers, you know 'tis hw crypto working :)
also, test the speed of the chip's true RNG

here are some numbers for comparison (Intel Northwood 2.4GHz):

something like this (random example):
http://www.logicsupply.com/product_info.php/products_id/596

check your mainboard's manual -- I'm not sure if its 12V current
requrement is less than this power module can supply (remember,
in contrast to Pentium IV, C3 feeds off 5V, I believe).

you might want to get higher power version of this for greater
efficiency or if you use more than one slow HDD (unless they're
laptop HDDs that operate at 5V). I wouldn't use the highest-power
modules meant for fast processors (such as Opteron, etc), as
they're probably operating at high switching speeds of 2-4 MHz
(holy crap!) == unnecessary EMR [acoustic noise isn't the only
bad noise to be worried about ;)]. But that's just my opinion
(completely unsupported).

Note that I haven't got a slightest idea on the reliability of this
setup, although I see less failure modes for the power module than
ATX PSU. As usual, no guarantees: it may behave badly from day 1,
drink all your beer, ride your bike, flush the toilet while you're
showering, and it will surely bite your wallet :)

if you're good friends with your hands, then it should be very
easy to integrate a 'brick' power supply into the case (and get
rid of that noisey ATX PSU) :)

Am I the only one who doesn't care what the software license is so long as I
can use the darned thing without having to sell my soul? Installing from
ports is A-OK by me, so long as it works, and ipw does.

It's non-zero, and w/o having the source to the firmware, and verifying
that firmware blob you have was built from that source you don't know,
so you are implicitly trusting Intel to not do nasty things in their
firmware (and LSI, etc.).  The "not perfect" part is actually my point.
You won't ever be in a position to personally review all of the
software/firmware running on your machine, that's just life, and at some
point you just have to accept that and hope some of the other folks you
are depending on don't screw up.  I can't count the number of times I've
run into BIOSen or hardware that blatantly violates the relevant specs
and have to have workarounds as a result, but I still end up writing the
first cut of code based on the spec and deal with the exceptions as they
pop up.

Hmm, the one HAL I am familiar with so far (ath(4)) is not OS specific,
only host processor specific.  However, why are you worried about how much
work it is for the hardware manufacturer in HAL vs firmware?  That's their
choice to make.

When discussing 'security paranoia' you need to figure out who you trust
and who you don't trust.  To me it doesn't make sense to trust
${BIGCORPORATION1} who makes a firmware blob, but not trust
${BIGCORPORATION2} who makes a HAL.  Both companies are equally opaque to
the typical end-user and thus both of them should be equally (dis)trusted.
In my personal case, I have a very slight relationship with one person
related to the HAL from ${BIGCORPORATION2} so the opaqueness between the
two is slightly different (a partial known vs complete unknown) for me
personally.  To me this serves to point out how tricky such judgement calls
can make when you start distrusting the blobs (HAL or firmware) that come
from some companies but not others.  Thus, my actual choice is to trust the
blobs from both companies (thus I would happily use either of iwi(4) or
ath(4), and in fact my laptop at work has iwi(4), so that's what I use).

However, we will probably just have to agree to disagree on HAL vs firwmare,
and it's actually my fault for dragging that up in a thread about firmware
licensing.

Hi:

I am starting the process of replacing an older 2RU server that uses an
Intel ServerBoard and Adaptec 2110S low profile SCSI RAID card.  This
thing is several years old and much has changed since I last built one
(using 2200S).

Does FreeBSD now support any of the Intel ServerBoard on-board SCSI RAID
systems, or is it still advisable to go with a separate card?  If
separate, what's a good, current (preferably Adaptec) low-profile SCSI
RAID card that FreeBSD 6.x has suitable drivers for?

Please reply directly, as I am not subscribed.

Thanks!

Hey all,

Anybody have the Asus M2N32 WS Professional setup under FreeBSD? And
other question is: anybody have the NVIDIA nForce(r) 590 SLI=99 MCP
controller SATA on FreeBSD doing RAID 5?

Thanks,
Douglas
